Jiang Yifeng left the Sheriff's Mansion and did not return to the Su Mansion immediately. Instead, he went to his bookstore.
Because the business of the book store was getting better and better, Jiang Yifeng asked Zhou Zhong to buy several surrounding shops and expand the book store a lot.
Today's bookstore is divided into two parts.
Some of them mainly sell storybooks, namely "Water Margin" and "Jin Ping Mei". Of course, during this period, Jiang Yifeng asked Xu Ning to write two new storybooks, "Journey to the West" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
Without exception, these books, which had high literary value in their previous lives, became popular very easily.
Relying on four popular novels, Xu Ning has become the most popular famous storyteller in Jiujiang County.
The other part is the newspaper office that publishes newspapers.
When newspapers first started to be published, it took ten days and a half to publish an issue, and there were barely a thousand newspapers in one issue. The main reason was that each newspaper had to be hand-copied by a scholar.
But now, newspapers use movable type printing, and an issue can be published in three days, with at least 3,000 copies in one issue.
Not only is the speed much faster, but the cost is also greatly reduced.
Today's newspapers, even without advertising fees, have turned a profit and even made a small profit.
"Master!"
Zhou Zhong saw Jiang Yifeng arriving and hurriedly greeted him.
Jiang Yifeng nodded towards Zhou Zhong, glanced around the book shop, and asked, "Shishi is not in the book shop?"
Although Shishi is the shopkeeper of the bank, she is also responsible for advertising negotiations for the newspaper. In addition, the bank is not far from the book store, so she will come to the book store often.
Zhou Zhong shook his head, "The newspaper advertisements have been sold for half a year, so Miss Shishi doesn't come often. If my boss has something to do with her, I'll go to the bank and call her over."
"Need not."
Jiang Yifeng said, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Zhong, "Publish this in the next issue of the newspaper."
"What's this?"
Zhou Zhongben asked a question. After opening it, his eyes widened suddenly.
The content on the paper is very simple, just two points in total.
The first point is to inform everyone in Su City that this year's Oiran Competition will be hosted by the bank.
The second point is that the rules of this year's Oiran Competition are different from previous years.
Jiang Yifeng looked at the stunned Zhou Zhong and felt very proud in his heart.
Because in exchange for hosting the Oiran Competition, he earned five hundred thousand taels of silver.
After all, 30% of Meishan's shares were worth 1.5 million taels. He bought them with 500,000 taels of silver. He also invested another 500,000 taels in the county governor, and he still earned another 500,000 taels.
"You go make arrangements, I'll go to the bank."
Jiang Yifeng waited until Zhou Zhong finished reading, then left the bookstore and went to the bank to look for Shishi.
The bank is not on Zhuangyuan Street, but it is not far away, just a few streets away.
If Zhuangyuan Street is only visited by scholars, then the street where the bank is located is often visited by businessmen.
Because there are all kinds of shops on this street, merchants who come from other places to do business mainly buy goods on this street.
When he arrived at the bank, Jiang Yifeng happened to see Shishi escorting a businessman out of the bank.
The businessman was wearing a satin robe, a melon cap on his head, and a delicate purse hanging around his waist. From the bulging appearance of the purse, it was easy to tell that he should have saved a lot of money just now.
"Mr. Qian, please go slowly. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the bank to see me."
Shishi changed her coquettish appearance in front of Jiang Yifeng, her dressing style was somewhat similar to Su Yingxue, and she actually looked a bit dignified.
"Miss Shishi, I really want to thank you this time."
Shopkeeper Qian clasped his fists and said in a sincere tone, "I brought 50,000 taels of silver this time. I'm worried about leaving it in the inn, and it's inconvenient to carry it with me. Fortunately, I heard that you can deposit the silver in a bank, but it's a pity that there are only There are banks in Sioux City.”
Shishi chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Qian, the bank will soon open to other places, and there will be our bank in Zhouzhou in the future."
"That would be perfect..."
Shopkeeper Qian said a few more polite words to Shishi before turning and leaving.
Shishi saw off shopkeeper Qian and was about to turn back to the bank when she suddenly saw Jiang Yifeng standing not far away.
In an instant, Shishi's dignified temperament disappeared, and a springy smile appeared on her face.
This change in temperament is like a cold-blooded professional woman who instantly transformed into an island teacher.
Such a familiar plot made Jiang Yifeng want to take off Shishi's clothes.
"Master, why are you here?"
Shishi hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a delicate voice.
"I have something to ask you."
Jiang Yifeng took a deep breath and tried to calm down as much as possible.
"Master, let's go to my usual resting place and chat!"
Shishi walked up to Jiang Yifeng and whispered: "There is a bed where I rest. It's very comfortable."
"I have business with you."
Jiang Yifeng was speechless.
Inviting him to the office in broad daylight was a clear attempt to seduce him.
The problem is that he is not a very restrained person. In a scenario where the boss and secretary often have stories, he is really afraid that he will not be able to control himself.
"whee!"
Shishi chuckled charmingly and asked: "Master, can you have serious business with me?"
When did I come to you to talk about serious things? It was you who turned serious things into informal ones.
Jiang Yifeng complained in his heart and said, "I have already made arrangements. This year's Oiran Competition will be hosted by the bank..."
"The bank is going to host the Oiran Competition?"
Before Jiang Yifeng could finish speaking, Shishi exclaimed.
"Any questions?"
Jiang Yifeng rolled his eyes at the fussy Shishi.
"No!"
Shishi shook her head slightly and took a deep breath, "I used to dream of becoming an oiran, but I didn't expect that I would be hosting the oiran competition now. It feels like I have transformed from a chess piece to a chess player. It feels unreal."
Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment and could understand Shishi's feeling.
"Master, what do you need me to do?"
Shishi quickly recovered and looked at Jiang Yifeng and asked.
"I need you to make money."
Jiang Yifeng paused here and looked at Shishi, "Let me test you. How do you think you can make money through the Oiran Competition?"
"Advertise!"
Shishi thought for a while and then gave the answer, "The Oiran Competition is the biggest event before the Spring Festival. Many people will pay attention to it then, and when there are more people paying attention, it is the best time to advertise."
Jiang Yifeng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Are there any other ways to make money?"
Shishi thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I can't think of any other ways to make money?"
Seeing Shishi shaking her head, Jiang Yifeng didn't feel surprised.
After all, the method of making money he thought of had never appeared in Dazhou, and Shishi had never been exposed to it.
For things that have not been touched before, it is equivalent to beyond cognition.
And it is impossible for people to make money beyond their cognition.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifeng looked at Shishi, "In addition to advertising, we can also make money through rankings and selling goods."
